Review Summary

Reviews describe Mémo as an intimate and cozy dining room where the small venue enhances a refined inventive menu. The quality and presentation of dishes are repeatedly praised, with careful wine pairings and attentive service, including the chef who explains courses. Many highlight the tasting menu as a centerpiece, offering a global culinary journey and strong technique, though some note portions can be small and a few dishes may feel simple or the desserts lack depth. The atmosphere ranges from romantic and quiet to warmly intimate, with staff creating a welcoming vibe that adapts to changes in party size. The restaurant is often called a gem in the Montreal dining scene and worth a visit for food lovers seeking originality, with recommendations to return for the tasting menu and cocktails. The kitchen is chef driven with stories behind dishes and seasonal house made ingredients adding to a sense of a special dining experience. Overall impressions emphasize memorable meals, standout courses, good value on the tasting menu with wine pairing, and a refined yet unpretentious ambiance. Some reviewers mention that the desserts are not the strongest part, but the care in cooking and service generally elevates the experience.

Honestly, if you're in Montreal you must visit this restaurant. I am pretty sure that the young chef here will do great things before too long.

Speechless. What an amazing dinner, chef. You should be proud. We just came from NYC & you blew those restaurants away. Bravo! We'll definitely be back.

Don't get me wrong, food was good. Price was reasonable also. But no dish was memorable for me. Still has potential & I recommend it.

Found this restaurant via the Michelin Guide app, & had an excellent experience. We went for the 6 course tasting menu plus wine tasting. Staff & chef were fantastic & very attentive.

I was a bit apprehensive ahead of our visit given there are no prices on the website & nothing mentioned in previous reviews. To help others, the cost of the tasting menu was $75, & the wine pairing was also $75 (before taxes). I consider this good value given the quality of the food.

Excellent menu dégustation, bien exécuté & les plats avaient une belle cohérence entre eux. Service attentionné & sans prétention. Belle ambiance, le décor des années 80's donne une touche originale.

Une expérience très agréable, la nourriture est délicieuse, on y est confortablement assis & servi, c'est un restaurant sans faute. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation avec le wine pairing & les accords étaient d'une très grande qualité. Vraiment à essayer !!

Excellent menu dégustation!

On perçoit une maîtrise technique remarquable : les cuissons sont justes, les assaisonnements précis, & les textures subtilement équilibrées.

Mention spéciale à l'accord mets & vins, surprenant sans être déroutant. Le tout témoigne d'un vrai travail de réflexion en cuisine.

Un service fluide & une présentation raffinée.

En bref, une table à découvrir assurément!!

Le memo,

Un incontournable a Montreal pour les amoureux de la bonne nourriture de type « fancy » le chef est un ancien participant de Top chef & passionné de son métier! La propriétaire Sabrina est une amour & sais comment mettre les gens à l'aise! Un menu qui change aux gré des saisons, des produits fait maison, vous ne serez pas déçus! Pour les amoureux des desserts par contre ce n'est pas la grosse force. Je vous laisse quelques photos qui parlent d'elle même! Bonne dégustation

Je suis allé manger un midi chez Mémo & ce fut une super expérience, dans un décor intimiste & feutré. Le chef est venu nous expliquer chacun de nos plats & quel travail derrière chacun d'eux!
On dit souvent que les plats les plus simples sont les plus exigeants, car il faut de bons ingrédients, travaillés à la perfection. C'est ce que propose le chef Rémi Lemieux avec en plus, sourire & bonne humeur.
Burger au boeuf vieilli goûteux, tendre & plein de saveurs avec une belle longueur en bouche. En entrée, le chicharron soufflé avec son tartare de thon est à la fois frais, léger, fondant & croquant.
Une belle découverte chaudement recommandée.

We had the burger, the duck burger, the fries & the the olive oil cake. All meals were incredibly delicious, well balanced & filling. The staff were super accommodating as we brought our little one. Very nice, relaxed atmosphere & the chefs are friendly & top notch. It's well worth your time to stop in & try what's on offer here.
